The name ‘Doune’ is derived from the Gaelic word ‘dun’ meaning ‘hill fort’; referring to the mound on which Doune castle now stands, on the banks of the river Teith.

Doune Castle has been used as a film location as the fictional Castle Leoch from the popular TV series Outlander and is having a record number of visitors due to the “Outlander effect” . There are a number of Outlander film locations in the surrounding area. It is perhaps best known as the castle in the Monty Python movie ‘The Holy Grail’ and every year; hundreds of fans flock to the castle to celebrate the anniversary with some of the members of the cast.
